These are operations that are generally performed to reshape the nose, solve breathing problems and make the nose more compatible with the face.
Types of nose surgery; We can list them as closed nose surgery, open nose surgery and piezzo nose surgery. The most preferred are open and closed nose surgeries. Closed nose surgery is more preferred especially if it involves interventions to the tip of the nose. Open nose surgery is frequently applied to cartilages and asymmetrical disorders.
The shape of the nose is clarified during the doctor's consultation according to the patient's demand and compatibility with the face. In some operations, it may be necessary to put cartilage in the nose. Cartilage addition may be needed in patients who have undergone nasal surgery before and will undergo revision nose surgery, which we usually call secondary. For minor changes, the surgeon may use cartilage from the deeper points of the nose or ear. For larger changes, implants, ribs or cartilage from other parts of your body can be used.
The tampons inserted into the nose after the operation are removed from the nose on the control day. Swelling and bruises around the nose and eyes disappear after 10 days. Minor bleeding is normal after tampons are removed. To reduce bleeding and swelling after rhinoplasty, it is necessary to rest in bed with the head higher than the chest.
After the operation, it is necessary not to use glasses until the end of an average of 4-6 weeks. If possible, the nose should also be protected from the sun. In nose surgery, if a correction is made for the breathing problem, the effect is seen immediately, but it may take 6 months to 1 year for the nose shape to fully settle.
